Sydney offers world-class scuba diving unmatched in any large city. The shore diving is second to none and a majority of diving in Sydney is done from the shore. Abyss Scuba Diving has FREE Divemaster-guided shore dives every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. These are free to come on and you only pay for any equipment hire and any air fills.
To ensure your safety we require those divers who have not dived in the past 12 months and who have done fewer than 20 dives to undertake a scuba review before joining one of our shore dives. We run refresher courses every month. So if you have not dived for a while, be safe and tune up your diving skills.
Please note:
These rates only apply to those who book and pay online but not to those who book online and then only pay when they come to the dive centre.
Rental equipment is to be collected at the dive centre at Ramsgate and we require proof of certification at the time of collection.
Divers are required to pick up and return their rental equipment to the dive shop. Divemasters will not take it to the site or return it to the dive centre for you.
For all cancellations, there is a $25 administration fee. There is no refund once the equipment leaves the dive centre!
If none of the below dates meets your needs we also offer the following Private Dives:
Bare Island is a double shore dive, departing the dive centre at 10:00am. Bare island is one of our easier dive sites. With depths ranging from 12-18 m you will have plenty of time to explore, say hi to the friendly groper and see the endangered weedy sea dragons. Make sure you keep an eye out for the hard to find red Indian fish and the frog fish. The site is located on Anzac Parade La Perouse with free parking and a toilet block near by.
This will be a great dive with a heap of grey nurse sharks down there at present. Shell harbour is an hour drive south of the dive center. So for this dive we leave Abyss at 9am (pleae be here at 8.30am to collect gear) do the 2 dives and generally get back around 5pm.
Possibly one of the most popular dive spots in Sydney, found in the national park, Voodoo is famous for its pumping surf break above the water and its beautiful swim through Arch beneath the water. With schools of fish, giant cuttlefish and eagle rays swimming about, who wouldnt want to dive in this slice of heaven. Be at the store at 9:15am to collect your gear and meet your dive masters.
This is a double dive and leaves the shop at 10am with the location of the site at Jibbon Street Cronulla Oak Park is a relatively shallow dive (max 11m) but the site is massive with a large range of marine life.

Located on Ship Rock Road, it wont take long to see how this site got its name. Dropping over the wall, takes you into another world, full of pinapple fish, angler fish, decorator crabs (if you can spot then), cuttlefish and much more. Make sure you stop by the shop nice and early to pick up your gear and meet the divemaster.
Sutherland point is sure to please. Drop down off the wall and follow this dive with navigational ease. Keep your eyes open for the opportunity to spot a real life dragon, camouflaged by kelp.
If you are a slug lover, you are in for a treat beacuse the nudibranchs here are hard to beat.
Be at the shop at 9:15am to meet your divemaster for the day and collect any gear you require.
This dive will be a 9am start at Abyss scuba diving with a briefing in the classroom with about the weedy sea dragons. We will then hear out for 2 dives to see the beautiful creatures. Limited number on this dive so book early
